Next-Level Shopping: Unveiling New AI-Powered Shopping Tools

AliExpress is enhancing the platform's shopping experience with new AI tools that make browsing, buying, and getting support faster, easier, and more personalized.

• AI Review Summaries: AliExpress is also unveiling an innovative AI Review Summary tool designed to help shoppers make faster and more informed purchase decisions on select Choice products. Using advanced natural language processing, the tool analyzes customer reviews to produce concise summaries that highlight overall sentiment and key review themes, without altering or replacing original reviews. Reviews from multiple countries are incorporated via translation for analysis, and the resulting summary is localized back into each user's language—so shoppers in different markets see the same insights presented in their local language.
• AI Search Recommendation, DeepInsight: AliExpress has launched DeepInsight, an AI shopping tool that guides shoppers with clear, informative search recommendations. DeepInsight pre-populates the search function with relevant, ready-to-tap suggestions (e.g., "last-minute white-elephant gifts" or "cat hair lint roller") based on context signals like trending items and category relevance. The tool is ready to use the moment shoppers open search, helping them discover products faster and decide with confidence—no extra steps required.

"This 11.11, we're making shopping faster, smarter, and more enjoyable for our customers," said Chris Carl, Head of Marketing, AliExpress U.S. "From items arriving in as little as two days, to discovering high-quality brands through Brand+, and exploring products with the help of our new AI shopping tools, we're bringing a more seamless and personalized experience to every shopper this holiday season."

Survey Reveals Consumer Gifting Habits, Value-Driven Shopping Mindset This Season

AliExpress's latest U.S. Consumer Insights Report, conducted by Talker Research, surveyed 2,000 online shoppers, to uncover trends shaping holiday gift-giving this season. The findings reveal a shift toward value-minded gifting, where thoughtfulness and resourcefulness go hand-in-hand.

The survey found that:

• 59% of respondents say getting a good deal matters more during the holidays than any other time of year.
• More than a third (36%) are splitting at least one gift with a friend or family member — a growing trend of collaboration that stretches budgets while keeping the sentiment strong. Nearly half of Gen Z and four in ten Millennials plan to split at least one gift with someone else, while only one in ten Boomers do.
• 57% of respondents prefer giving practical gifts, showing a clear trend toward value-minded gifting.
• 46% of respondents love the element of surprise when it comes to gifting, reflecting a growing appetite for discovery-based shopping, a hallmark of the AliExpress experience.

"This holiday season, our shoppers are clearly looking for value, practicality, and a little bit of fun," said Carl, "Our survey shows that nearly six in ten consumers prioritize getting a good deal, and more than half want practical gifts. That's why we designed 11.11 to deliver massive savings, exciting prizes through Shake & Win, and teamed up with PayPal, so every shopper can find something thoughtful, stay on budget, and even enjoy a little surprise along the way."
